VSI Versatile Seismic Imager

Improved borehole- and surface-seismic data quality

VSI versatile seismic imager delivers sharper, more accurate images from borehole to surface. Tool efficiency is enhanced by

  • rapid mechanical deployment
  • very little time between stations
  • short shot-cycle time during remote-source surveys
  • real-time data processing during acquisition.

The downhole seismic sensor measures particle motion of the formation. The technology removes tool harmonic noise and tube waves from the borehole-seismic band. Further innovation, such as digitization close to the sensor package, helps reduce signal distortion for superior clarity in interpretation answers.

For positioning and correlation measurements, VSI service can be combined with a gamma ray tool for accurate depth control and an inclinometry tool for spatial orientation.

WAVE borehole seismic reports

WAVE Q-Borehole field processing software sets new standards with wellsite delivery of high-quality data. Seamless data sharing for QC is facilitated without interrupting the acquisition process. WAVE software optimizes the workflow to shorten turnaround time.

The VSI sensor package is a decoupled from the main tool body, providing acoustic isolation and noise suppression. The caliper, shown in the extended position, can be used in either openhole or cased wells.
